Beth is a very beloved mentor of mine. My prayers are with James, Daniel, Kenneth, Patricia and family. While heartbreaking, I’m grateful for Beth funding peace. Alpha love, Carol
We were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Beth. She was a dear person and friend to my sister, Helen, and a welcome member at all family gatherings.
Beth was one of the nicest people I know. She was one of my most beloved sorority sisters. Jim and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May you feel the love around you.
Beth was a beautiful person both inside and out. Though we only got to see each other every other year at the Alpha Sigma Alpha National Convention, it gave us a chance to catch up on our growing families, that now include grandchildren. Beth always had a smile on her face and we loved to laugh. We were roommates at several conventions and really enjoyed our time together. I will truly miss her. My deepest sympathies to all of her family. She was a very special lady and will be missed by all who knew her.
Jim Heidel & Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of your wife & mother, Beth.
May our Lord Jesus comfort all of you, in this your hour of need.

Oh I am so sorry to hear this.
My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
She was an EIU / ASA sorority sister of mine.
We had a dress making class together. I think she made a pink one…& it was pretty much perfect! Mine, not so much.
Beth was such a nice person.
My thoughts and prayers to all of Beth’s family. She was such a beautiful woman, inside and out! As an ASA sister, I looked forward to seeing her this summer at convention. Beth will be missed terribly.
Beth will be deeply missed! She was kind and fun loving. She loved Alpha Sigma Alpha, devoting many days and years to her sisters in Chicago and across the country. We have all been blessed by Beth’s presence in our lives. We will miss her smile, her laugh and her love of life. May she rest in peace. Jim, Ken, Dan and Patty, may you be comforted in feeling the love of those who care deeply for you during this time.
Beth was a beautiful person and such a sweet and joyful face to see every other year at ASA convention. Our sisterhood and I will miss her tremendously, but will remember her always. All our love to Beth’s family and friends. ALAM.
My deepest condolences on the loss of your wife and best friend. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
I just learned of Beth’s passing and saddened to hear of your loss. She was an Alpha Sigma Alpha sister of mine at EIU. We lost contact over the years but I followed her work with ASA through the ASA magazine. We were housemates at one time and she was like a protective mother hen to me and my pledge sisters. I loved her sweet soul. Praying that God will see you all through your grief.
